Americans Should be Politicians.

John Bright said: "At every moment
in the history of free country, there is
nothing that is so much worth discussing
as politics" The leaders of the Mormon
Church have always opposed the discus
sion of politics in Utah, for the reason
that they have not wished it to be free
country. The learned doctors of the Trib-
une, and their followers, are also opposed
to such discussions. If they are as wise
as the leaders of the Church, they know
that the tendency of political discussion
is always in the direction of enlighten-
ment and freedom. If they are so igno-
rant as not to know, or so bigoted as not
to feel, that the absence of political dis
cussion tends to stupidity and slavery,
then they are untitled for leaders in any
movement intended to better the condi-
ton of citizens of free country.
Aristotle said that imam is born to be
a citizen" Democracy recognizes the
truth of this saying to the fullest extent.
Man may be member of this party or
that, or he may be neuter; he may or
may not be member of a church, but he
is and must be citizen.
The Mormon Church teaches that man
must belong to the church and render to
it obedience; it enforces its teachings by
harsh and unchristian like measures.
The doctors OF the Tribune when they do
not teach Republican politics, teach that
in Utah man should have no politics, and
assume to enforce their teaching by vile
and contemplate epithets, never used
but by the lowest viliiers. The princi-
pies of Democracy teach that the term
citizen includes privileges and obligations.
That the citizen is entitled to look to the
Government for the protection of all

his legal rights and political privileges !;
that it is his duty to render support and
obedience to his Government; that it is
both his privilege and his duty to
see to it that neither the Govern
ment, nor the church, nor any set of
men infringe upon his just rights, or in
terfere with that open and free discussion
whicn alone will enable him to determine
what, as free citizen of free govern
ment, he ought to do. We are inclined
to the belief that John Bright is better
authority upon this question than the
Mormon Church, the doctors of the
Tribune, or the neuters, all of whom
agree that there should be no politics in
Utah.

Passing Strange.

ED. DEMOCRAT: When the election of
Samuel j. Tilden to the Presidency of
the United States was first announced,
one of the present editors of the Repub-
lican organ of this city had charge of the
Federal Court House. He refused to
permit the Democrats to hold meeting
in the Court House, because they were
Democrats. That is the kind of non
partisan non-political individual thatruns
your non-partisan Republican contem-
porary. DEMOCRAT.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND was the fourth
President who celebrated his fiftieth
birthday while in office-James K. Polk,
Franklin Pierce and General Grant.
James A. Garfield would have been 80
years old had he lived one month longer.
President Cleveland has the advantage
in years of many of his predecessors.

IT is rumored that the Western Union

REPUBLICAN papers in Pennsylvania
are discussing Mr.. Blaine's chances in
1888 with great freedom. The Philadel-
phia Record thinks "this discussion is
not calculated to assist the statesman
from Maine. If he is to be re-nominated,
it must be a magnetic and hurrah under
taking. Under the cold consideration
he is likely to get before the day of de-
cision, his boom will suffer. He does
not bear looking at too closely"

OUR telegraphic dispatches are just
now telling all they know about the
career of one William Kissane, New
York criminal who disappeared from the
city in 1854. 1t seems as though Kis-
sane's identity is still mystery though
he is known to be alive. In the general
slippery circumstances of the case there
is growing popular demand that Mr..
James G. Blaine at once clear up his
record as far as the year 1854 is con-
cerned.

LITERARY REVIEW.
"SECULAR THOUGHT. u


We have received No. /, Vol. l, of the
aforementioned weekly published at
Toronto, Canada. Secular Thought has
the appearance of being a bright and
staunch advocate OF liberal thought. A
glance at its contents shows the names
of able and popular writer's, among
which is that of R. G. Ingersoll.
The following is the pean of the paper
as laid down in its own column.
Secular Thought will be devoted mainly
to the promulgation of constructive
secularism in the affairs of every day
life; will be purely agnostic in reference
to all phases of alleged supernaturalism !;
will contain articles from leading writers
in Europe and America upon science and
philosophy; will set apart special de-
partments to the consideration of pro-
gressive thought in great Canada; will
not assail the truth found in any religion
it will only aim at destroying the inhu-
ence of errors and perpetuated prejudice; ;
will give give notices of new books
having for their object the physical, In
tellectual. Moral and social, and will
yindicate the right of free inqniry and
free speech, always maintaining due re-
spect for its own line of thought.
A paper like Secular Thought has the
chance of doing a great deal of good in
the elevation of humanity and the down
ing of superstition and ignorance. We
wish the publishers success in their en-
terprise.
THE AURORA.
This magazine for April has been
placed on our table. 1t is a very readable
number. It's staff of contributors in
cludes several well-known writers, and
the aurora offers to the literary appetite
healthy and attractive bill of fare. The
AurOra thoroughly understands that the
literary demand of the present day and
generation is brevity. To be brief is to
be attractive. To be both brief and en-
tertaining is to be successful And the
aurora is both brief and entertaining.
1t is filled with short articles The taste
of modern readers has been well con-
suited in the subjects treated, and in
several instances the sketches are power
fully written. "The Chemistry of q
Candle" will interest all alike. Both the
scientist and the average reader will find
entertainment and instruction in this well
digested and cleverly constructed sketch.
"a Social Difficulty is story we'll told,
and is enlivened by very pleasant vein
OF humor. "With Judge Lynch is the
development of a startling Western incl
dent into thrilling tale. The reckless
lawlessness of the Western border; the
ready and deadly revolver; the red mark
of murder; the illegal but salutary JUS
tice of Judge Lynch; the masked execu-
TONERS, self-appointed to their dread
office; the despairing cry for mercy, and
the midnight gallows, are the materials
woven into tale that fascinates while it
appals. The aurora is magazine that,
like all other modern successes, speaks
fos itself.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND came near be-
ing born on St. Patrick's Day. He missed
it only by few hours. 1t was in the
State of New Jersey, on the 18th day
of March, that he first say the light. To
achieve fifty years is something to make
a man celebrated. When he accom-
plishes this, and gathers in the Presi-
dency of the United States along with it,
he is entitled is be regarded famous.
But, then, Kaiser William has achieved
ninety years and an Empire almost as
large as the Great Republic.

Of the strength and prowess OF the heroes
who wnrrcd on the plains OF Troy No
man OF these degenerate days could do
the work our fathers did who "gloried
and drank deep" like those lusty jam
sehyds. They had, to be sure, some few
points In their favor that we lack. They
did not need-at least they did not use
those intermittent aids TO the agreeable
ness OF life that we seem TO find so neces-
sary. There were no brantties and sodns,
no sherries and bitters, no O'Clock lteas;
they were content with one solid meal in
the day, and they did not put that off till
IL was growing time to begin TO think
about bed.
And 1 suspect, the most important
point OF all, they took fife less hastily
not less seriously, but less hastily. Their
brains were not always at high pressure,
they did not fritter away their minds and
tempers on nni inhnity OF pursuits-pur-
suits OF business, and pursuits OF pleas
ure. IL they did not nil attain Words

luminous" view OF Goethe, Mt least they
did not insist on barring the way 60
those blessed goals. This hasty life of
ours, these successive shocks OF change
and alarm, this want OF rest and leisure,
all act or tend to act injuriously on 1.-THE
